Yooka-Laylee Joins The PC Gamer Weekender Lineup

January 30, 2017

The PC Gamer Weekender will be an event for players of any style of game, from your hyper-competitive MOBA to… well, cutesy platformers. Yep, we’re bringing Yooka-Laylee to the stage.

The spiritual successor to Rare’s Banjo Kazooie (a console-only game, but don’t hold that against it), Yooka-Laylee was a huge Kickstarter success when it brought in plenty more cash than it asked for back in 2015 – to the tune of £175,000 in 38 minutes and over £1,000,000 in 21 hours. People want this game.

So we’re very proud to welcome Yooka-Laylee and Playtonic Games to the PC Gamer Weekender, where attendees will be able to discover more about the upcoming platformer and everything that makes it tick in a special talk dedicated to the game.

Yooka-Laylee has been confirmed for a release on April 11, 2017. Is that exciting? That is exciting. We’re excited. Even more exciting is that if you pre-order now from Steam/GOG, for £34.99/$39.99/€39.99, you’ll get immediate access to the Yooka-Laylee Toybox. That’s even more exciting.

Yooka-Laylee will be shown alongside plenty of other attractions at the PC Gamer Weekender, which is being held February 18-19 at the Olympia, London, in the UK. For more details see the site, and follow us on Twitter for up-to-the-minute news. Tickets are available now from £12.99.
